GOING INTO A DECLINE.

Mrs Allen, Christchurch,

Blood No Better Titan Water Wasting Away for 2 Years. Todajr a Picture of Health. Dr Williams' Pink Pills.

" Looking at me to-day, you would never think that, two years ago, I was on the verge of a decline," said Mrs Bessie Allen, sar5 a r Caledonian road, Christchurch. "My blood started to go to water, and I wasted away till I was nothing better than a skeleton. Everyone who came to the house said how deadly ill I looked. It was no Use trying to build up my strength, for I couldn't keep any food down on my stomach. I got weaker and weaker, till my whole health went to pieces. My rerves were all on edge, and I grew too downhearted for words. That was the state I was in when I started to fake Dr Williams' Pink Pills. In a month 1 was a dilfcrer.t creature. Six boxes of Dr Williams' Pink Pills made mo ono of the healthiest women in Christchureh.

" It is going on for four years since I started to break down," said Mrs Allen.

" .Every month my blood grew weaker and ponror. My face turned sallow. My lips and minis were almost, blue for want of blood. I haled to look in tho glass—my face was so drawn and haggard. My eyes bad great dark circles under them, and they wen* sunk away back in my bead. My feel were like blocks of ico, and my hands were every bit as cold. I got thinner every week, till I was little more than '.Mtm and bone,

"People kept U'lHngr m e what I ought lo take to make me fat and build mo up aqjoin—hut they littlo knew liow bad I really was. My tongue was all coated, and I could never got rid of tlio vile taste in my nioiitli. It was all very well telling ma to cat this and cat that—but I hated the very sight of food. When I did force myself to eat anything it lay like lead underneath my breastbone, and gave me no end of pnin. Even a biscuit or a. cup of water turned sour mi my stomach, and set me. vomiting. That took every atom of Rlrenglh I had. " f was hardly ever free from bilious headache.--." Mrs Allen -went on to say.

"Thov never left me from the time I ?ot up till I ivent to bed. The strain soon told on my nerves. I was always irritable. 11 v dearest friend bored me. I wanted to be

alone- all the time, for I was always on the verge of tears, alul fancied there (vas sonm great trouble hanging over me. At night I was too nervous tc sleep. I iust tossed from side to side. Every little while I kept thinking I could hear strange footHeps about the house. Every hour seemed as long us three. It was often halfway through the night before I dropped off to sleep. In the morning I got up too weak and tired to stand. I started every day with a dull, heavy feeling and all out of sorts. f was so nervous that my own shadow frightened me. The least sound made me jump and set my heart thumping like mad. Any little excitement sent, a flu=h and a cold shiver over me. I was so ill and wretched that I never knew the day when I would have to take io my bed and never get up again. " No one can understand how wretched and ill I was. unless they have gone through the same themselves. At times my legs wore 100 shaky lo hold m?. I couldn't stand for any length of time. After setting tlio dinner-table I had to sit down and rest. My breath went, and a smothering feeling came over me. Next thing my heart started to rhiltorand race, and I got all of a tremble. Whenever I tried to hurry I had to stop with the pain that caught me in the left side. Scon I got.'so bad that it was a. struggle for mo t-> walk a few step;. Without any warning my hoad started to swim, and then I was clown in a half faint.

'" For two weary years I dragged along in this awful plight." added Sirs Allen. " People told rue of all sorts of things to do me good, but I tried them all and they were all worthless. At last my blood v>,v; no better than so much dirty water. I was just on the verge of the grave, when I started Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. Even the second box did mo a little u'ood. It gave me an appetite, and soon I noticed bow much better my headache and backache was. When the last box was empty 1 was a different woman. I slept lb' whole night through, and got up next tiioriiing bright and energetic. Now blood flowed to every part of my body. A healthy colour came in my checks, aud I gained in weight. 1 am now a strong healthy woman. abb l to do my housework with comfort and ease. Dr Williams' Pink Pills saved my life after I had been wasting away for two year'." '
